Lead provider dossiers

How the lead sellers actually work.

One dossier per provider, built from their own published terms on the date shown: what you buy, who else gets the same lead, what happens when you stop paying, and when the marketplace is the better choice.

We sell an alternative (a website, ads and search you own), and we say so on every dossier. Facts come from the provider's own pages and are dated; if something is out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
